In a woman's life, there are 2 relatively important milestones: puberty and menopause. Puberty and menopause are both related to female reproductive function. Nowadays, early puberty happens quite a lot. The question is, is it okay to wake up early? Does early puberty lead to early menopause?

1. Is it okay to wake up early?


Puberty is a process of psychological and physiological changes through which a child develops into an adult, capable of reproduction.
During puberty, children will have many physical and psychological changes. Precocious puberty is when these changes come earlier than normal, with girls being tipped towards precocious puberty if they show signs of puberty before age 8, and boys before age 9.
What's wrong with early puberty? This is a question many parents ask when talking to specialists about their children's condition. In fact, early puberty has quite a lot of effects on children.
Physical development earlier than the conventional timeline may have later effects. In children with early puberty, the skeletal system develops early, at puberty you will find your child is taller than other children of the same age. However, due to the early closure of the bone head, the growth of height is limited, when the child becomes an adult, he will be shorter than normal.
Early puberty increases the risk of some systemic diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, obesity ... In girls, early endocrine disorders lead to the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome, which can affect the reproductive function of children in later stages.
Not only affects health, early puberty can cause psychophysiological disorders in puberty, leading to behavioral disorders in children.
Early sex, early pregnancy at a very young age is also one of the concerns in children with precocious puberty. That said, if a child shows signs of early puberty, but the family detects it in time to have appropriate treatment and treatment, combined with encouragement and mental reinforcement, the child can still develop healthy. , just like other friends of the same age.

2. Early puberty, early menopause?


If puberty is said to be a milestone marking the beginning of reproductive function in a woman, menopause is a sign that signals the end of reproductive age.
Entering menopause, women will not have an ovulatory cycle, menstruation will be lost and women will not be able to have children anymore. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, it can be earlier or later depending on the body of each person. If a woman begins to show signs of perimenopause before age 45, it is considered premature menopause.
Answering the question of early puberty or early menopause, experts say that ovarian function is not affected by early or late puberty.
In the female reproductive system, the ovaries play an extremely important role. The ovaries are the gonads responsible for the regulation of female sex hormones and the production of egg cells. The monthly ovulation causes the menstrual cycle. Without an egg, there would be no period, and of course, no ability to conceive and give birth.
Research on anatomy with embryonic tissue shows that a baby has just been born with 1 million to 2 million eggs. After the baby is born, no more eggs are produced, but gradually die. It is estimated that every month a child loses about 10,000 eggs, until puberty, children only have about 300 to 400 eggs left. This figure is for reference only, the actual number of eggs for each woman is different, it may be higher or lower depending on each person.
Eggs of the ovary also have a cycle of maturation and ovulation corresponding to the menstrual cycles. When the eggs run out, a woman enters menopause, which means she stops menstruating. Therefore, the nature of early or late menopause depends on ovarian function and the number of eggs in the body. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm early menopause and early menopause.
Some causes of early menopause in women:
Genetic factors. Ovarian dysfunction in primary ovarian failure. Due to some systemic diseases such as autoimmune diseases (rheumatism, thyroid disease,...), or due to chromosomal defects such as Turner syndrome, Fragile X syndrome... Due to a natural decline in the concentration of female sex hormones, usually a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels. Due to pathological treatment, there are indications for hysterectomy or oophorectomy. Due to the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Sometimes, an unhealthy lifestyle, unhealthy diet, excessive use of stimulants can also cause early menopause in women. Both puberty and menopause are two important stages for women. Both early puberty and early menopause have a direct impact on fertility. Early menopause cannot be said to be early menopause because the early or late loss of a period depends on ovarian function and the number of eggs in the body. Contact your doctor for specific advice if you are experiencing problems with early puberty or early menopause.
